11 month update

Drake reached 11 months on August 10th! Time is just flying by. His birthday party is only 2 weeks away. We have had a lot of new things happening in this house in August! On the 18th, Drake started walking! I wasn't expecting it at all. He still doesn't just go all over but every day he gets a little braver and more confident. He says so many words. I can't believe how vocal he is. Once he started focusing on the walking he hasn't said any new words. My mom says that is because he is using all his energy to learn walking.
Here is a list of the words he can say!

Hi, Bye Bye, Daddy, Mommy (sometimes calls me me-me), Nanna, Pappaw, bath, uh-oh, baby, poo, yes, no, ball, he tries to bark like a dog and says vroom, vroom when he plays with his cars or hears a motorcycle. I feel like there is so much more but I can't think of it right now.

He had his first 2 haircuts. I cut about an inch and a half off the top myself and then I decided to go ahead and let Julia (she does my hair) clean it up and give him his first real cut.

My first haircut!



Like my new do?

He enjoys going to school to pick up Stella from Kindergarten. Now that the kids are back in school he has been taking a 2-3 hour morning nap. FABULOUS!!! Mommy gets a lot done in the morning. I don't have stats because he hasn't been to the Doctor sense his 9 month check up. I am guessing he is pretty close to 18 lbs. He is all table food now. I still buy the veggies in baby food because he eats them so well and I want him to eat his veggies. VERY IMPORTANT! We have just switched him to whole milk and he is completely off bottles. He is so easy to switch. I would love to eliminate the pacifier as well but we will wait until after his birthday. He still has no teeth. I can't believe it. My other two kids didn't get them until 10 months. My mom says we were all 1 year old before we got teeth. We just switched him to size 4 diapers. He is such a small guy. The size 4 still seems
big.


I have to feed myself:)

We have been busy planning his birthday party. I hope it all comes together! It should be very cute! So on September 10th we will have an 8 year old, a 5 year old, and a 1 year old. CRAZY!
